more snow.
LOTS of snow!...which means the whole day long in and out and on and off of snow gear and endless rounds of supplying dry clothes and hot chocolate and tea and soup...
it's a lot of work to have fun...
anyhow, today is likely the last good day for sledding...there's a warming thing going on and things already look a bit drippy outside...
the best part is we've managed to nearly complete our school week even with all the outdoor fun...i just love not being part of someone else's schedule...
in other news, well i guess there isn't much other news...when there's enough snow for snowball fights and sledding outside, with all the attendant trappings, little gets done...though i did manage to very nearly read the entire calvin and hobbes collection in the past few days...
but lest you think i was slacking off by the fire with my comics and my mugs of tea i just want to point out that it was research...see, the boybarians have become HUGE fans of calvin and hobbes...the duke of fun checked out ALL the calvin and hobbes books from the library, and they've both been devouring them...
which seems charming if one didn't actually take into account what kind of child calvin is...if you can't remember, do go a check out a book and get reacquainted...good lord i'm glad we don't have neighbors...
so, calvin being calvin, i need to keep up...those books are like step by step manuals on how to create mischief and mayhem!!...this way, if i read them all i'm one step ahead when one of my little calvins gets an *idea*...
and hey, reading calvin and hobbes as parental research is a lot more interesting than "how to talk to your kids about sex"...bonus...
though watching wingman jump onto the duke's already moving sled only to be fully shoved off into the snow halfway down the hill at top speed seems like something the duke was capable of coming up with all on his own...
